How to Chant ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी — करदर्शनम्
Instructions
Recite once soon after waking, while still seated or before rising. It is traditionally chanted along with the Karadarshanam verses (such as 'Karagre Vasate Lakshmi') as one looks at one's open palms, remembering the Trimurti and the nine planets so that the day may begin auspiciously.
Spiritual Significance
It is said that one who begins each day with this prayer never finds the planets unfavourable, for they have asked the Trimurti and all nine grahas themselves to make the morning auspicious — and a day begun in such surrender unfolds with grace.
Origin & History
Source: Traditional Prabhata-smarana (morning remembrance) shloka
Author: Traditional
This is a classic 'suprabhatam' verse with which many Hindus begin the day. On waking, the devotee remembers the three great deities Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva together with the nine planets, and prays that all of them grant a blessed and auspicious morning. By beginning the day saluting both the Trimurti and the cosmic forces of the Navagraha, the whole day is placed under their protection and grace.
